Frequently there is a ribbon cutting ceremony where an oversized pair of scissors is used to cut an oversized ribbon to officially open for business. The Grand Opening or Ribbon Cutting for your retail store, car dealership, new office building, government facility, university building, aquarium or entertainment center, equestrian park, golf course, country club, community center, sports venue, museum, symphony hall, hospital or event facility is a once in a lifetime opportunity for your business or attraction to shine. This is your time to get favorable publicity by carrying out this public relations opportunity in a professional manner with a lot of fanfare. Balloon columns, arches, drops,
and giant balloons are frequently used with a Grand Openings. They are usually accompanied by special sales or
other promotions and giveaways. These openings may also be accompanied
by attention getting displays like searchlights lighting up the night sky or
a fireworks display. When available
a radio station is invited out to promote the Grand Opening with a live
"on-site" broadcast. If the business has any recognizable (and in
some cases, not so recognizable) mascots, they will generally appear at
the Grand Opening.
The Grand Opening may not be the first time the
establishment opens. In many cases a soft opening occurs before
the grand opening to allow the staff to become familiar with the
establishment and how to operate the equipment. This is very common
within restaurants and some other businesses with the Grand Opening
occurring approximately one month after the initial soft opening.
In some cases, the Grand Opening may be a special event for invited
guests. This is very common for restaurants or for other high profile
businesses. Balloons & Events Over Atlanta

made, provide media advice, prepare the balloon accessories, which
